OK, When I use virtual dub first then the vlc TV works first time.

That seems to indicate that the device has to be opened twice to get it to work properly....... Any thoughts other than telling users to open vlc twice after each reboot

Thanks for that. I tried to load a normal avi and it worked straight up with audio. The TV card audio still continues to need two invocations to get audio. IE: When the avi audio works, it does not make the TV audio to work. Unfortunately I do not have any other TV application on this embedded platf...

Hi everyone I use vlc to implement a simple TV viewing application. I have a strange problem that is as follows: The first time I run this command, vlc starts and the TV channel video functions fine. There is no audio though. If I then run the exactly same command again then the sound works as well ...

Any thoughts guys ??

Sorry about the waste of bandwidth I sorted it out: vlc tg.avi --novideo-deco --intf dummy --dummy-quiet --extraintf rc --rc-quiet --rc-host 127.0.0.1:10003 --video-on-top --one-instance --sub-filter marq:logo:menu --marq-marquee="Your text here" --marq-x=50 --marq-y=50 --freetype-font=c:\...

Hi I am able to get an OSD menu working as follows: vlc tg.avi --novideo-deco --intf dummy --dummy-quiet --extraintf rc --rc-quiet --rc-host 127.0.0.1:10003 --video-on-top --one-instance --sub-filter menu --osdmenu-x 150 --osdmenu-y 1 --osdmenu-file osdmenu\default.cfg This can be activated by typin...

Same problem with the osdmenu vlc tg.avi --novideo-deco --intf dummy --dummy-quiet --extraintf rc --rc-quiet --rc-host 127.0.0.1:10003 --video-on-top --one-instance --sub-filter menu --osdmenu-x 150 --osdmenu-y 1 --osdmenu-file osdmenu\default.cfg So again without transcode how do I use an OSD and m...

Hi I am using videolan to display a range of media on a local screen and been having a lot of success with your product. I have been able to use subfilters for marq and for logo seperately but not at the same time. I want to avoid transcode if I can. Is there a way to chain multiple subfilters when ...

Hi Would it be possible to add a feature such that as you transition from one item in the playlist to the next it does not flicker or redraw the entire video container. In addition when you are in full screen the transition goes back to windowed and then back to full screen again. Maybe in windowed ...

Sorted it thanks.
I was missing the "="

The next version? I just downloaded the lasted nightly and typed: vlc --longhelp --advanced No mention of that option. Do you mean a future version :-) Does this imply that you might be able to use the fake interface to show a random slideshow from a directory of images between video footage? Thanks...

Hi The code below work fine except that it takes 80 - 100% of the cpu on a P4 3.3Ghz machine. It seems to be in a tight loop reloading the static jpg. as --loop would indicate :P So is there a way of limiting the loop frequency. vlc c:\castle.jpg --intf="dummy" --dummy-quiet --loop Thanks ...

Hi guys While testing the new release with static jpegs I found the strangest thing: vlc "http://208.45.181.18/__live.jpg?&&&" --loop This is a public access net cam so you should be able to use it. Every iteration of the loop the speaker icon and volume level indicator move to...

Perhaps vlc should read the jpeg stream and whenever it gets a Content-Type that it does not deal with, strip it from the stream up till the next Multipart tag?? Content-Type: text/plain 0100000000000001281286102393510000033042000000000000000001289999991280000000200001000100000000000000100000 --WINB...

This is a generic IP camera. It is extactly the same issue as I have with a 4 port video server. It is based on the winbond chipset and here is a URL reference http://www.drgw.net/~maverick/electronics/wbipcams/ to aditional info on the system and other specific cameras that use this chipset. Thanks...

I think the "text/plain" stuff that returns status from the camera is stuffing things up. Content-Type: text/plain 0100000000000001281286102393510000033042000000000000000001289999991280000000200001000100000000000000100000 --WINBONDBOUDARY Content-Type: image/jpeg ......>@.A.........C.........

I am guessing that this technique of encoding might be used by other web cams?

I am guessing that a standard winbond chipset implements this method.

Bump

I think you are correct, this is outbound and not inbound.
Any thoughts on how I could read this stream?

MK

Multicast ?? There is no multicast here.

Am I missing something?

Sorry if I was not clear. But I have the rc interface working fine.
I am trying to get a video only window.

IE: No decorations etc

Hi Trying to get vlc to read a http stream from a multiport IP video device. It basically turns 4 analog cameras into web cams. I have captured the stream with ethereal and found the folowing: GET /GetData.cgi?Status=1 HTTP/1.1 User-Agent: WebCamera Host: 192.168.0.223 Connection: Keep-Alive Cookie:...

Hello I am trying to get vlc to present a rc only interface. I have got that going fine with the --rc-quiet option but I can'y stop the windows GUI from appearing. What I need is a video window only with no decorations at all, no menus, no nothing. Using video-x, video-y to place the screen and togg...

Found the messages window.

Thanks

While that is working, I can't get any output from -vvv?
How do I see the debug output?

MK

That is it. Thankyou very much.
